Convert kip to international unit

Learn how to convert 1 kip to international unit step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (k i p) = x (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(k i l o g r a m)

Left side: 1.0 (k i p) = 453.59237 (k i l o g r a m) = 453.59237 (k g)

Right side: 1.0 (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t) = \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} (k i l o g r a m) = \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} (k g)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (k i p) = x (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 453.59237 \times (k i l o g r a m) = x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \times (k i l o g r a m)

Or

1.0 \cdot 453.59237 \cdot (k g) = x \cdot \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \cdot (k g)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 453.59237 \cdot (k g) = x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \times (k g)

Conversion Equation

453.59237 = x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} = 453.59237

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{660.0}{10^{- 6}})

x \times \frac{10^{- 6}}{660.0} \times \frac{660.0}{10^{- 6}} = 453.59237 \times \frac{660.0}{10^{- 6}}

Cancel

x \times \frac{10^{- 6} \times 660.0}{660.0 \times 10^{- 6}} = 453.59237 \times \frac{660.0}{10^{- 6}}

Simplify

x = \frac{453.59237 \times 660.0}{10^{- 6}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 6}} can be rewritten to 10^{6}

Rewrite

x = 10^{6} \times 453.59237 \times 660.0

Solve

x

x = 2.993709642 \times 10^{11} \approx 2.9937 \times 10^{11}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (k i p) \approx 2.9937 \times 10^{11} (i n t e r n a t i o n a l u n i t)
